Cajun Chicken & Honey Kebabs

These kebabs are really easy to do and a huge hit at my house.  They’re 2 ½ syns for all four (that’s the honey) so less than a syn per kebab.  They’re not quite sweet and sour, more sweet and slightly spicy but the soy really deepens the flavor.  Unlike a lot of recipes this has hardly any ingredients and I’d recommend giving them a try.

Ingredients:

Pack of chicken thighs, all visible fat removed and cut into chunks

1 tablespoon honey (2.5 syns)

4 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce

1 heaped tablespoon Cajun seasoning – use more if you like it spicy

1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 peppers – any colour

1 red onion

Method:

Mix honey, soy, Cajun seasoning and garlic powder in a bowl

Add cubed chicken and leave to marinade for a least 4 hours

When you’re ready to cook the kebabs cut your peppers and onion into chunks

Thread the chicken, peppers and onion onto the skewers and place on a grill rack, if you have any spare marinade you can drizzle it over the kebabs rather than throwing it away

I grilled the kebabs for about 5 minutes to slightly blacken them, turning a couple of times then put them in the oven, gas mark 6 for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through

Serve immediately with salad and wedges

(if you are using wooden skewers remember to soak them in water for a couple of hours beforehand)
